Josh Coburn.

Odd one, unless we don't notice it because Coburn chooses not to use his pace, and prefers to try and hold up the ball.

Is Crooks basing this on what he sees in training? Do the players have to do sprinting drills?
 
Pace is often deceiving. Depends what distance they have tested it over. Or whether it's a top speed.

I would imagine Lath is faster over 5 yards but Coburn may be faster over 50 as bigger more powerful lads often are. Can use that longer stride length
 
I always thought he looked quick over a decent length of chase. Obviously not sharp over a much shorter distance due to his size. Hence the Latte Lath figures above

I remember when we had Rippers flying down the wing and Cooper and Parky darting up and down the flanks. Pally was the fastest at the club.

It depends on the distance.
 
Early in the season he was running onto balls down the flanks and outpacing defenders. Unfortunately he has had a bad injury since. Hopefully he gets back to full fitness soon. (y)
